Trend #1: cut-off denim August 27, 2009

Today we kick off a series of WGSN‘s top trends for the season, compiled during an exclusive web seminar presented this morning by Isabel Mesa, manager of Spain and Portugal.

Do it yourself:

1. Put a pair of old jeans into a bathtub full of water with the amount of bleach you desire in it. This amount depends on how light or dark you want your cut-offs.

2. Let the jeans soak for about a half hour to an hour (once again,depends on how much bleach you put in)

3. Take the jeans out and throw them in the dryer for about one hour. If they’re a little damp, don’t worry, you can work fine with them.

4. Use tough scissors to cut off the legs until you get to your desired length.

5. Fray the bottom edges and around the sides and the front and back pocket openings with scissors or a pocket knife.

6. Fray the actual fabric up and down fast and hard to get a rough look, using sandpaper.

And talking about cool cakes, if your party is big, how about a 3D cake? Cake artist? Is there such a thing? Well… yes, there is. And heading the field is Rachel Mount, who does a nice line in retro designs. Mount is London’s leading cake artist, her sculptures have been exhibited at the Royal Academy Of Arts and Sotheby’s. These features lead to commissions designing birthday cakes for UK Vogue’s 90th Anniversary and Spanish Vogue’s 20th Anniversary. Nhãmi nhãmi (for the eyes and stomach!)
